What is a typical image of portrait gallery now? A portrait gallery where every piece is coincide for its prototype? What the only painting can get is never available for photography? This special message of a picturesque portrait will no longer be the transfer of external social attributes, be it clothing or a hairstyle, nor an accurate physiognomy. But the meat of painting can tell something about our faces as fragments of the body with its agonizing life, suffering, excitement, passions. And layers of paint, hiding each other - about the face as a mask, a snag, hiding under its obviousness a mystery. ‘While the archaic portrait gallery principle itself absurdly packs a series of these meat masks in solemn sequence, as if a string of feudal lords or well-deserved figures state.  And this orderly order is ironically undermined from within by their eerie blind grimaces, their carnival of a survey.
